I visited Costco on my vacation to Japan. I was surprised to find a 48-piece sushi platter and bulgogi bake — and I even got a free sample of booze.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Richard Truong. The following has been edited for length and clarity.and I've been a member of Costco since 2016. I started taking lots of pictures of the signs and prices at my local warehouse because that's how I would budget my food expenses in college.
I enjoy traveling around the world to understand different cultures and different places because you see them on TV and in the movies, but it's never really the same as actually being there. It's fun to wander around Costco warehouses in different countries and see what they have — what's similar to the US and what's specific to that region.
Japan is pretty cool with their food. If I had a way to cook while I'm traveling, I'd maybe buy the Wagyu beef cheaper there, instead of going to a restaurant. But traveling solo, it's pretty hard to try a lot of foods in bulk. It would not be great to have five pounds of beef to eat and five liters of alcohol to drink by myself, but I'm pretty sure I could at least down a whole sushi platter.
